ADDITIONAL INFO
I can remember the first time I ate a Bahn Mi.
It was fairly recent
Last year, hunger struck during an evening jog-walk with 3 other family members.
"I'm craving a Bahn Mi!"
"What's that?!"
"Try it and see!"
That evening, I sank my teeth into a most refreshing sandwich. The light Vietnamese-style bread loaf encasing a bed of sweet-and-sour pickled carrots, fresh coriander leaves, and tangy sliced jalapenos with pork slices or prawns or a fried egg (my favourite) in the middle. I particularly love the sauce that holds everything together -- sriracha-mayonnaise is a combo made in heaven!
After many repeat visits to that Bahn Mi vendor, I've grown very fond of the Fried Egg Bahn Mi. I'm not really a fan of paying the €5.80 price tag every time I crave one though, so I decided to make my own version at home with available ingredients. It may not include all the ingredients of the classic Bahn Mi you get in Vietnam itself, but it makes my tummy happy =)
yummy

Mmyuumm! Banh mi is a perfecft summer sandwich. I find it so satisfying on extra warm afternoons. Love the variety in texture, and the addition of sriracha mayo. Great entry @foodie.warrior!
Yes the fresh coriander and the pickled radish and carrots make it so delightfully refreshing! Thanks a lot, @shalala! :) Nice name btw ;)
Wow ! Nice sandwich! It looks very tasty, I like it so much, thank you for sharing your nice food.
Thanks for coming by and leaving a footprint, @creativewoman! I saw that you did an entry too! Will go check it out now :))
Oh this is so mouthwatering @foodie.warrior! Thanks for making me discover this amazing sandwich from Vietnam.
The spicy-ness of sriracha mayonaise surely brings a nice kick to this wonderful sandwich!
Good luck for the contest!
@progressivechef
hehe this sandwich really embodies the adjective 'mouthwatering' =DD surprisingly, the sriracha is not very spicy at all :) I add pickled jalapenos when I want a spicier kick :)
Am waiting to see your entry, my dear friend :)
You always do a great job with your pictures. Your pictures alone make me want to make sweet taste bud love with this masterpiece. Many different elements that would seem to make it explode in your mouth.
Sweet and Sour with a kick of spicy? I'm in.
The ingredients love to explode out of the bread when you bite into it..little pieces of radish and carrots dropping onto the plate and the runny egg yolk oozing out..
Such a mess to eat, but I absolutely love and am addicted to this sandwich! Just had it for dinner tonight again :)) That's the fourth time this week hehe
This one is onion- and green-onion-free, so something more to your taste, I hope ;))
Note to self: @lexikon082 likes sweet, sour, and a kick of spicy =D
My first taste of a Bahn Mi was in a Viet Namese shop in Montreal, Canada ^^ haha since then, I desperately want another one... yours looks fab!
I hope you get your hands on one again! Do you live far from Montreal? There's always the chance to get back to the mouthgasm-giver ;)
Errr yeah... Living in Spain now :)
haha well if you can't find a good Bahn Mi in your city, try making it at home..it's not too difficult ;)
OR,
Time for a vacayy ;)
A bit different from the ones I have but I actually like to get this once a while
Lol and which ones do you normally have? :)
i'll have the pork or chicken but I remember their eggs are more of the scrambled type.
Interesting. The one here states 'omelette' on the menu, but serves up 2 crisp bulls-eye eggs. I prefer it to the sound of scrambled eggs in the mix ;)
I ate the pork Bahn Mi a couple times here as well. Something about the pork in Germany though, it's not quite as clean tasting as the ones in Sg...a little porkier here, somehow...I've heard say that this is because the pigs here are not castrated like in Asia due to animal welfare activists..however, a quick google search showed that appears that surgical castration of male pigs still takes place in Germany, just that the goal is to head towards alternatives. I'm not sure why, but the 'boar taint' in the pork is still pretty obvious here.
Fortunately, I got my egg option ;)
i heard about the castrate too. yesterday, i heard something else. someone who runs bak kut teh restaurant told me he gets hos from Germany and only from there he can get them delivered with precise 3 inch length. salute the engineering and customer service
haha very interesting..I do notice that some rib racks are very neat here..but not all..well, I do make pots of white pepper bah ku teh here too, and it tastes like in SG (it's one of the favourite foods of The Mann lol)
Good for the autumn and winter for sure.
Think I could eat it once a week and be happy :)
